Jan Lisiecki & Academy of St Martin In the Fields & Tomo Keller – Beethoven: Complete Piano Concertos – Vinyl LP

High Quality, Limited Edition

“A sparkling performance that seems refreshingly spontaneous – and yet is perfectly formed in terms of thought” (Der Tagesspiegel)

The Canadian star pianist Jan Lisiecki is presenting his celebrated cycle of the five piano concertos by Ludwig van Beethoven for the first time on vinyl in a high-quality 5 LP vinyl box with five 180g LPs.

The five concerts are not a cycle in the strict sense, says Jan Lisiecki: “Beethoven certainly did not conceive these works as a coherent whole. Nevertheless, they belong together because they show an incredibly differentiated picture of Beethoven, starting with the first two concertos, which still reveal Mozart’s legacy, through the very different works numbers three and four to the majestic E-flat major concerto.” The pianist is fascinated by this diversity, “because all of Beethoven’s important, sometimes contradictory facets come together here.”

Lisiecki can be experienced not only as a soloist in these recordings, but also leads the famous Academy of St Martin in the Fields from the piano.

The release of this vinyl box will be accompanied by a major German tour in January 2025 with dates in Munich, Hamburg, Cologne, Frankfurt, Dresden and Berlin, among others.
